Chronicle Supposing Books I Suck at Girls
"Growing up, every time I saw a men's magazine cover that had a headline about '73 Ways to Please Your Girlfriend', all I could think was 'I'm good with one; just tell me one way to please her. Also, I don't have a girlfriend. Is there an article about that?'"Soon after Sh*t My Dad Says began to take off, comic writer Justin Halpern decided to propose to his then girlfriend. But before doing so, he asked his dad's advice, which was very, very simple (and surprisingly clean): "Just take a day to think about it." This book is that day. Crossing the warmth of The Wonder Years with the candour and observational humour of David Sedaris, this follow-up to the hottest comedy debut of last year is a hilarious, toe-curlingly true book about life, and love.

This guy becomes famous because he uses 140 characters to quote his dad on a social media platform. The height of his success is a TV show on FOX. These successes are void of any kind of talent or originality and this book makes it pretty clear that he wouldn't have had his fifteen minutes of fame if it wasn't for his dad. It's kind of embarrassing. But what the fuck do I know? He's not on GoodReads leaving a bad review of MY collection of short stories that rely heavily on parental wit andFunny and heartwarming, with some really useful insights about relationships. Halpern's dad doesn't feature prominently in this one, but when he does he's unforgettably hilarious as always.
With some funny moments that got me to chuckle aloud - in public, even - some well-learned (if not terribly profound) insights, and his father's trademarked style of expression, this book has a lot to offer. I'd rate it higher if there was more of it. I finished it in under 2 hours, and it seems like Halpern is intelligent and contemplative enough to come up with more than this. Certainly, he could have told us more about his relationship with Amanda, the woman at whom he finally, apparently,
Initially gave this a 4 because I love Justin's dad since Sh*t my dad says, and it's a good book. But realized a LOT is missing. What caused their big break up with Amanda? How did he resolve it enough to know she's the one? Or maybe that was besides the point of the book but I just wanted the book to be longer.Still hilarious though
I loved Shit My Dad Says and this was also pretty good! This was more stories rather than quotes like the first book but good nonetheless :) glad it ended well too
I'm pretty sure anyone passing by me in the car while listening to this thinks there is something wrong with me. So damn funny.
